Certified Paediatric Allergy Training Centers in Europe
SP-EAACI and ETC-PA have produced a European list of certified training centres, that is intended to be an important tool for orientation and information of potential trainees. It is hoped that this will help stimulate the development of better structured training centres in various countries and locations.
